About this episode
The episode explores the four cups of joy in the Seder and their connection to practical pathways to simcha, as taught by Rebbe Nachman.
The four cups of the Seder correspond not only to the four languages of redemption—Vehotzeiti, Vehitzalti, Vega’alti, Velakachti—but also to four practical pathways to simcha (joy), with a fifth, Veheiveiti, representing a higher joy we await. Rebbe Nachman teaches that true simcha can be activated through simple joy (mili d’shtuta – lighthearted silliness), gratitude (hoda’ah), finding one’s good points (nekudot tovot), and physical expression like singing and dancing, while the highest level is connecting to the future redemption (simchat ha’atid). The Seder is not just a story of redemption, but a structured guide to building lasting simcha in everyday life.If you have been inspired by this class/lecture please share it with your friends.
